As you are aware of the fact that revised draft GST law is published by the Government. Many changes have been made in the revised draft GST law in comparison to earlier draft GST law. If we compare the old draft GST law with the new revised draft GST law then we can study the changes which have been made and their impact on the trade and industry.
Times and now, questions have been raised on the qualifications and eligibility of the officers of the department to conduct audit, but the Government has proved to be adamant in continuing the ritual despite of the poor results of such audits. This piece of articulation is on the journey of provisions related to audit in the Chapter V of the Finance Act, 1994 governing the service tax law.
With the hype created regarding implementation of revolutionary taxation reform, i.e., GST in the financial year 2016-17, the government attempted to mentally prepare the assessees as regards substantial reduction in the exemptions available. This is reflected by the levy of excise duty on jewellery except pure silver jewellery.
Service tax assessees will be required to file Annual Return in addition to the half yearly returns presently filed by them. This has been done by amending Rule 7 of the Service Tax Rules, 1994 which will be applicable with effect from 01.04.2016. This article is an attempt to analyse the probable consequences of the amendment.
It was proposed in the Central Excise Tariff Conference that the time limit for issuing show cause notice under normal period of limitation should be increased and it appears that the suggestion has been considered by the government in this Budget. In this budget, the government has amended section 73 of the Finance Act wherein the time limit for issuing show cause notice under normal period of limitation has been increased from the present ‘eighteen months’ to ‘thirty months’ from the relevant date.
Budget, 2016 has come up with some new provisions and concepts in the Central Excise Law. One such provision has been introduced in the name of rule 7B of Central Excise Rules, 2004 which has been framed on the same lines of input service distributor. This little article is about this new concept in the Central Excise Law.
The new rules namely, Customs (Import of Goods at Concessional Rate of Duty for Manufacture of Excisable Goods) Rules, 2016 shall come into force on 1.4.2016. As per new rules, following procedure is to be followed:-
Budget 2016 has been introduced and it has bought some major changes in the Cenvat credit scheme by amending the Cenvat Credit rules, 2004. One such change has been introduced in the rule 7 which relates to the input service distributer. With a view to improve credit flows between different manufacturing / service locations, Rule 7 dealing with distribution of credit on input services by an Input Service Distributor is being completely rewritten by way of substitution of the existing Rule 7 of the CCR.
Budget 2016 has been introduced and with it has come many amendments and changes in the law. One such change is with respect to the services by way of transportation of goods by an aircraft or a vessel. The amendments made in it are effective from 1.6.2016 and will impose additional fiscal burden on the importers importing goods via sea. This article demonstrates the existing scenario, amendments made and the implications thereof.
Earlier, the single registration could be granted only if the two premises were separated by way of public road or canal or railway line. This condition has been done away with now. However, earlier, there was no condition which stated that the manufacturing processes should be interlinked. Thus, even if both the premises undertook entirely different production processes, the single registration could be granted. Now, to get single registration, the production processes should be interlinked.
